Amazing!! Highly experienced, Reliable & Professional in spades!
Judith and her team at Kojuu Safaris have been wonderful from my initial enquiry until I confirmed I made it safely to my next overseas destination, after an amazing 10 day tour across Tanzania & Zanzibar. As a solo traveller, with specific travel dates, destinations and activities I wanted to see and do, the perfect personalised itinerary was created for me within 24 hours. I intentionally preferred Kojuu Safaris and Tanzanian owned accommodation options to support local Tanzanian people and businesses.
All payment transactions were done online securely via the Pesapal link provided with official receipts received before the tour started. This way I didn't make any card transactions travelling and carried enough USD cash safely on me for tips and hotel extras.
Judith made sure everything I requested was arranged for and all accommodation organised was of luxury level. At each of the luxury accommodation, all staff hospitality on-site and service was exceptional! My favourites:
1. for very thoughtful and personalised customer service was Acacia Farm Lodge in Karatu,
2. for exceptional amenities, spectacular rustic safari feel and luxury lodge experience (including the sound of roaring lions at night) was Lake Ndutu Luxury Tented Lodge and
3. for exceptional comfort, location and 5 star restaurant meals was the Lions Paw at the rim of Ngorongoro Crater. Even though its smaller, it is super warm, cosy and won hands down!
4. Breezes in Zanzibar was the perfect location to relax with friendly 5 star service and commitment amenities after an extraordinary week of amazing safari game drives.
The most important person who made my safari mission the best safari holiday anyone could hope for was my safari guide Peter! Peter knows all Tanzania road routes, timing on the road between destinations, puts safety first, is an expert 4WD driver in all weather conditions, is very humble, professional, polite, respectful, speaks fluent English and is highly knowledgeable about all animals and places ... with bionic vision! Thanks to Peter, I saw the Big 5!!!
A great example of why Peter is the Number One Guide to travel with: After a night of torrential rain in the Serengeti where we were at risk of not being able to cross 4 rivers, we came across other guides bogged in the mud, pulled over on the side of the road with overheated car radiators, one struggled with a flat tyre and one was stuck in a creek of overflowing rain water where 2 hours before I was filming hippos in the same spot! Peter had asked me if it was ok to help another safari guide with 2 young travellers (from Taiwan) stuck in the creek. Worried, seeing the situation and risks, I said 'yes absolutely, but how??', with high water levels, it looked impossible. While other locals standing, watching, and other companies driving past! ...Peter kicked into super hero mode without blinking and got them out safely (the tourists and the vehicle!!)

Excellent from start to finish.
What we most like from this beautiful company is their responsiveness, friendship that makes you as a family. We received more from what we paid and expected. Everything was perfect, the food, the guide, the pickup, the welcoming and the comfortable sleeping locations and our guide John was very knowledgeable and friendly. Mostly to recommend to anyone.
Much thanks to John for taking good care of us.

A perfect organized and perfect guided safari!
I had a wonderful 4days safari including tarangire national Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The tour was perfect planned from the first up to the last moment.
And I'm sure I had the best guide ever. He is a young Tansanian, who's name is Elia. He knows a lot about the people, the nature and the animals. Besides he is an excellent driver, a very important fact at this safari. We startet our trip as guide and client and we finished as friends. Really Great! I enjoyed very good accomodations with good food. One night I slept in a comfortable tent to hear the sounds of the wild animals during the night. One of the many highlights. At the end of the trip I met Mr. Robert Sheiza, the boss of RO Scarvenger, a very sympathic man. He and his clerk Silas organized the whole trip absolutely perfect. I will surely book my next safari at RO Scarvenger and I want Elia to be my guide! Thank you very much RO Scarvenger!

Easy to communicate and value for money
This was my first safari tour and it was really nice. Bildad was amazing, he organised everything for me nicely and answered all my questions promptly. The tour was also good value for money! They can offer different accommodation/ vehicle options depending on your budget. Don't hesitate to email Bildad, I'm sure he'll do his best to work out an itinerary that's suitable for you.

Excellent!!
William and his team are very good. I went up Mt. Kilimanjaro with them. They took care of us, especially me when I was having difficulties on the 4th day. They encouraged and motivated me, this was so comforting and gave me courage to carry on. I had an amazing time. We started climbing on my birthday and once we were down Williams' team gave me a surprise birthday party, which was such an awesome gesture.. I would highly recommend them.

Discover Africa creates tailored itineraries for the trip of a lifetime.
Discover Africa completely tailored our itinerary to our desires and needs for our South Africa trip. We traveled with two teenagers over the Christmas holiday and wanted to pack in a LOT without completely overwhelming everyone. We added in the extra challenge of planning our trip rather late in the year. Having staff on the ground in the country and close relationships with hotels and tour providers made a huge difference for us and allowed us to do everything we hoped. We spent nine days in South Africa, equally split between Sabi Sabi game preserve, Cape Town and Hermanus. Discover Africa helped us get a taste of the vast natural and cultural diversity of the country. The quality of the lodge accommodations, dining and game guides there exceeded our expectations. Our Cape Town hotel was perfectly located to take advantage of all the festive activities and restaurants, and Discover Africa helped us to make reservations during this very busy time. The Hermanus portion of our trip provided stunning views and relaxation. Every component of our trip was well-timed and planned, down to the transport between locations. We felt secure that we could reach out to Discover Africa at any time with changes or concerns. It was a trip our kids will remember for a lifetime!

Jocky tours offer knowledgeable guides, good accommodations and we had a memorable experience.
We had Joseph as our tour guide, who proved to be very experienced and accommodating to our requests. We opted for a 6-day private safari tour, which included comfortable accommodations and a diverse variety of food in the hotel buffet. Additionally, we were fortunate enough to see all the wild animals on our bucket list and had the incredible luck of witnessing a hunt, along with encountering a female lion and her two cubs.

Marvelous, FIVE STAR experience. Colours delivered a life-changing adventure.
Hands down, we had a FIVE STAR experience from start to finish with Colours Africa Tours and Safaris. They truly gave my mother and me the adventure of a lifetime, starting with a warm welcome and briefing, followed by several exciting days of game drives. Our tour guide, Ben, always went the extra mile to carefully spot the wildlife and find the best positions to view and photograph. I spent a lot of time researching safari companies and chose Colours because they had the most professional itinerary presentation, were the most competitive on price, and also bent over backwards to accommodate every special request we had. My recommendation: Look no further than Colours for your private safari/tour of Tanzania!
